Family Farmers Mobilize in Ongoing Battle Against Monsanto

6. A Form Of Corruption

The patent laws were written to protect the intellectual rights of firms that develop unique new products and allow for damages to be collected when someone delibertly clones the product and sells it for profit, such as occurs in places like China. But here there is no attampt to reproduce the protected product so it is hard to understand how patent law can be applied in the manner that corrupt Judges are ruling. Here a farmer buys the seed from Monsanto and plants that seed, which is the sole purpose for the seed. When the crop matures the pollen is carried by the wind over the fence to the neighbors crop. Monsanto then sues the unsuspecting neighbor for the cross pollination that occurs as an act of nature. Never mind that the pollen from the farmers Montsanto seed is only a very small proportion of the pollen in the neighbors field. Plus, the seed produced by the pollen contamination is not the same as the seed Monsanto sells. So where is the patent infringment? I just don't actually see it.
